Abstract
Guiding principles are the survival key for humanity. Allama Iqbal’s “Pas Chih Bayad Kard” consists of the guidelines which the Muslim Ummah needs to focus on, in order to come up in the Western dominating world of today. This book is in Persian, and I have summarized it in my article following the qualitative research methodology. The recurrent theme of this book is Iqbal’s desire to see the people of the East rising again and preparing themselves against the “Fire of the West”. Fourteen (14) chapters provide all the necessary strategies in the form of wise poetry fully applicable if one has the intention to listen to them. Therefore, keeping in view all that, this paper has been written to make the younger generation aware of the worries Iqbal had about the future of the Asian people as well as explain his recommended course to rise again in the comity of nations.
